  • Title: [Anatomicopathological findings relating to fungal infections: considerations on their increase and microbiological findings].
    Author: Ceppa P, Chiaramondia M, Colacino R, Ravetti GL, Mazzoni A.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1985 Nov 30; 76(45-46):2179-87. PubMed ID: 3908979.
    Abstract:
    2,366 consecutive autopsies carried out at the Institute of Anatomy and Histopathology of the University of Genova over the last 10 years are re-examined. 33 cases of visceral mycosis were found (a frequency of 1.4%). The following factors were considered: number and location of fungal infection, morphological characteristics of mycetes responsible, host tissue reaction, relationship with any other disease manifestation or predisposing factors. It is emphasized that these infections are increasing in frequency and severity. Clinics should therefore always consider possible fungal causes in the differential diagnosis of infections.
